This is a video review of the Pentel Floatune ( amzn.to/3R7rRQe ), a new rollerball pen from the maker of the Energel gel pens. The pen is said use an innovative water-based ink that is infused with an oil-based lubricant which should prevent skipping better than older rollerball designs.

I love your videos and reviews, you do a great job talking about the details about the construction of a pen that I never would have thought of. One thing I do wish you would do more often is to show where the pen balances, balancing a pen on a finger next to a ruler or something like that would help a lot! (Posted/unposted, retracted/extended, etc.) I find that balance is subjective if it's mentioned as "well-balanced" or "back-heavy" in reviews, because people's hand sizes and grip area will affect how balanced a pen will feel.

I commented about this pen in your latest video, thanks for doing this review! You answered basically all the questions I had about it. Keep up the great content 👌🏼

@unsharpen 11 месяцев назад

Glad it was helpful! Those suggestions are hugely appreciated

The original Pentel Rolling Writer, the first ever roller ball, is .8mm.

Thanks for the comparison. I have difficulty writing & any drag really causes me problems some days. For years I was unable to even hold a pen or pencil and I am still trying to find a pen I can write or draw with for a reasonable length of time. I have found the Energel is better, but sometimes I need waterproof ink for drawing and some of my Energel pens smudge and I can't paint over them.

Thank you for comparison vs energel

@user-se9mj3bo9w 10 месяцев назад

You should do additional tests like bleedthrough, smudging, and highlighter smudge test

I wonder if this pen, given the oil addition, may have some ballpoint attributes? Such as writing on more surfaces, or over oil, etc. Also, the oil may allow the ink to last longer. Of course, since this is a Japanese pens there could be aspects of it which work better with kanji, hiragana, or katakana.

I am feeling better about my obsession with smooth writing pens. 😊 By the way, they must be making the Pentel Floatune in 1.0 now because I just ordered a box of 12 on Amazon yesterday.

I always associate Pentel with needle tip pens. As they were the first to widely market those back in the eighties. I recall my dad really liking those. But they don't seem to make a modern version, and since they were water based, and disposable, very hard to find an original that still writes today.

There's a bunch of EnerGels in needle point actually

Non-Skipping I assume its free-ink system? Could it be compared to Stabilo Worker+? I know your`re a lefty, too. But I always had my issues with Energel somehow. Really had to hold it like I am not pushing it from the left to give ink constantly.

@unsharpen 11 месяцев назад

Yea I think so. I prefer the worker plus. That’s an exceptional pen

@sonigupta9416 11 месяцев назад

can you please tell me that wheather uniball sold separate ink bottles that are waterproof and fadeproof, actually i like needle tip pen like v7, but i also want a pen that is waterproof and fadeproof , unfortunately i couldn't find that pen, so i was thinking to put uniball ink in pilot v7 cartridges

@ecksdog 11 месяцев назад

Uniball vision and vision elite have pigmented, waterproof, fade proof inks.

hello ! i saw that you did some videos about schneider pen , i am looking to buy some Schneider Slider 755 M cartidges , you think like 3 of these will be enough to write for a year of school ? in the product description it says it can write 6000meters

@unsharpen 10 месяцев назад

Hard to say. Do you written a lot? Seems like you’d need more for a full year.

@Euripides_Panz 2 месяца назад

If anything, I've seen bad skipping in ballpoint and gel pens. Rollerballs, not so much. Only problem I consistently have is running through cartridges and thin paper stocks.

@endhd4803 11 месяцев назад

this feels like Pentel's direct response to the Uni Vision Elite. both come in 0.8mm, similar pricing, similar-ish design. the Vision Elite is what a lot of non-enthusiasts think of when we talk about rollerballs, so Pentel is probably trying to break into that market

@unsharpen 11 месяцев назад

Good call! But the vision elite has been around for some time, so why now?

@endhd4803 10 месяцев назад

@@unsharpen I'm not sure why now. perhaps it's the push for back to office? these could be good advertisement pens. could explain the colour choice too - print a logo easily

I do like my Vision Elite. I've been trying out the newer Uni One/Feel and feeling out different colors of EnerGel and Sarasa Grand.
